I know we have had threads on here before about tipping and who to tip and what % to tip.

 

However, just today, while in Naples, a person in the party I was with said the following and I wanted to get BGP's thoughts.

 

"I only tip (tithe) my church 10%, why should I tip anyone else more than that?

 

 

Thoughts?

20% for good service.

20% for good service.

 

what are your thoughts on the statement that was made.

I don't tithe, never have, never will. If the church needs something make it known, I'll pay for it or contribute to it, if I also see the need. I determine what charities I give to, not the church. I tip 20% in most cases, totally different mindset to me. Tipping is for service that I receive that I think is acceptable.

 

This is all personal and I really don't judge nor care what others do. It is their money and their decisions.

Don't have any. Not a regular churchgoer. Don't know what is "typical giving" for a regular churchgoer. Don't know how to equate the two; other than they seem like apples and kumquats to me.

I donate to the church regularly but not 10%. But I also give to other things as well.

 

As far as tipping usually between 15-20%.

 

If bad service usually 10%.

Cows.

I guess my intial point was missed in the opening post. What are your thoughts on the bolded.

Because they are totally different things to me. I just don't see them as comparable. Why do I spend 30% of my income on my mortgage and only tithe 10% would be the same type of non-comparable? As @mcpapa stated, it's like comparing apples to kumquats.

You are taught to Tithe your church 10% of your income. I don't think anyone would ever tip a waitress 10% of their income? It's up to 20% of the current bill.

a restaurant is kinda one and done. A church is not.

That's the way I see it for those inclined to tithe.

20-50 depending on the situation.

I don't tithe, never have, never will. If the church needs something make it known, I'll pay for it or contribute to it, if I also see the need. I determine what charities I give to, not the church.

How do you think the electric bill, pastors salary, church programs, insurance and gas for the church van are paid?

 

I know a lot of people that can't afford 10% but still give what they can so their church can pay their day to day bills and remain open.

As far as tipping goes I fall between 15 to 20% of the bill, depending on service.

At least 20% if the service is good.

 

Speaking of tipping, how much do you folks tip at a car wash? Not a detail, just the folks that wipe down the inside and windows after it's washed?
